SIGNING UP
Once you sign up, please head over to your profile and change your name [eg: severussnape] so that it has proper grammar and spacing [eg: Severus Snape]. If you submit your character sheet before fixing this, you might be denied.
You character's name may not match your face claims first, last, or middle name or the name of a character that said face model has played in a movie/show/ect. NO EXCEPTIONS.
AS A MEMBER
Once you join, please note that this site in unrated so there will be cursing, and violence, among other things. HOWEVER, despite this luxury, I am going to ask you to mark your posts with an [M] before the thread name if there will be an excessive amount of crude dialogue, ect.
Be active. Do not join, make a character sheet, get accepted, and just leave. Seriously. It's not cool, it's not fun for us, and it's just a waste of time. If you ARE going to be disappearing and you know you'll be away, post in the vacation board.
If you are inactive for a fortnight ( 2 weeks ), without notifying us in the Vacation Thread, you will loose your character. End of discussion.
CHARACTERS
One character per account. I see sites that allow as many as you want on one account and I do not see how that is possible- it seems like too much work to keep up. It won't kill you to switch accounts for each character, I promise.
You can make two character. Also, you can only make ONE canon. Canons are special and I want everyone to get an equal oppurtunity. If you come and take three canons then that limits others of getting in there. So pick yourself a canon and go make some originals. Originals keep the site going just as swell as canons do.
When making a character, give them faults, give them weaknesses, make them ugly. Not purely ugly, but not amazingly beautiful. Give them scars, blemishes, split ends, a large nose, big feet - SOMETHING that is not usually depicted as 'beautiful' in today's world. In short terms, I do not want to see any Mary-Sues, Gary-Stus, or any other form of the sort. Your character must also be human, no exceptions.
IMAGES
All avatars are, by default, 100x100.
Signatures shouldn't stretch the page, so no longer than 500. As for height, do not exceed 200. If they get too large people on dial-up will have loading problems and that's not cool.
ROLEPLAYING
This is an advanced rpg. We want all posts to be at least three-four+ paragraphs. It's not hard, really. Paragraphs are only five-six+ sentences long. Inspire yourself and go! I understand writer's block, but seriously, writer's block is never THAT bad. Which means if you are not an advanced RPer 3/4ths of the time we do not want you here.
WE HAVE ADDED A CODE WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO POST ANY POST WHICH IS LESS THAN OUR 250 WORD MINIMUM.
Posting format is third person, past tense.
Do not place * or - around your actions or spoken words. This isn't a chat-roleplay, this is a forum roleplay. We RP as if we are writing a book. Got it?
No God-moding. I hope that you know what this is given that you're joining an advanced RPG. If you don't, I don't want you here, simple as that. I know, mean, but whatever. It's something all RPers should know once they reach the intermediate level, let alone the advanced level.
